Speaking of the Western Kentucky-Central Michigan Bahamas Bowl scoring bacchanalia:

I don't want to ever hear someone saying there are too many bowls again. Every bowl is bonus football and a chance to see something you've never seen before. If we wanted to create 64 bowls and let the two worst teams in the country take each other on from an aircraft carrier or from farmland in the middle of Montana, I would watch, just in case.

I've been saying the same thing for years and years. Are there a lot of bowl games, essentially rendering what we remember as the reward for a good season moot? Yes. Are there too many? Heavens no.

If you think the college football playoffs are the best thing for college football because of the TV/entertainment value, I don't understand why you don't see the entertainment value of two random teams fighting for one more win in a random city. Who cares if the teams are 6-6. Bonus football is fun football.
